2016 Brought many great new members to our club. The Tilton - Northfield Rotary Club belongs to district 7870 and supports the Four Way Test of the things we think, say or do. In being a member of the club, it is noted that the Four-Way Test has been called the shortest effective code of standards of correct practice so far devised. It is now being used by numerous trade associaiotns, service clubs, corporations, professional institutions, and by thousands of individuals as a simple measureing stick to assist in determining what is "right" in human relations. If the Four-Way Test helps you, why not recommend it to your friends and associates?

This past Sunday, several Rotarians and friends braved the cold weather to walk in the 5-mile Making Strides against Cancer walk. Sunday's walk drew just under 5,000 participants and raised $466,870.00. This is the Rotary Clubs 12th year engaging in the event, with over $16,000 donated. Please consider joining us next year in the fight against breast cancer.

The new meeting location is now official. Rotarians Kamal Gosine and Alan Powell admire the new sign as it was constructed earlier this week. In June of 2015, Tilton-Northfield Rotary Club changed its meeting location to Onions Restaurant located at 225 Main St.,Tilton.

As we continue to miss our friends at Greenside Restaurant, especially Linda and her staff, we remain thankful for all they've done for us over the past years.

One might think a man living with polio in an iron lung would know about Rotary. But it wasn't until Paul Alexander had a business meeting with a member in Duncanville, Texas, earlier this year that he learned Rotary fights to eradicate the very disease that left him almost completely paralyzed.

"I was completely blown away by the idea. For all these years, I didn't know the work they were doing," says Alexander, a practicing attorney in Dallas. "It's such a perfect fit for me.
